It is without hesitation that I give my highest recommendations for the Actual Media team. CWWA has worked closely with Water Canada magazine and Actual media for over 10 years. They have been our media sponsor helping to promote our event and then full event partners managing all facets of our annual Window on Ottawa Event and our online webinar series throughout covid. Actual Media also coordinates the Canadian Water Summit each year and I have been on the program committee and an advisor for that event for 9 years. That is one of the most successful and professionally run events in our water sector. Nothing is overlooked, they deliver quality on all promises, the event is so well planned with many preparatory meetings for each session. They have a wonderful team of professionals that handle planning, logistics and, of course, marketing.

Working with Actual Media made the planning and coordination of our annual conference smooth and stress-free. As a small organization, having help from professionals who know events inside and out helped make the 2023 conference our biggest one yet and we're very thankful for Actual Media's assistance.

"Congratulations to Environmental Journal for providing a well-promoted, well-attended and well-organized conference. The venue was terrific and the flow of events was seamless. The Excess Soils Symposium truly provided an educational benefit for attendees as well as allowing for important networking opportunities."
